(Felix 1 Klein, 84, p. 223]) Waves are interesting physical phenomena with important practical app- cations. Physicists and engineers are interested in the reliable simulation of processes in which waves are scattered from obstacles (scattering pr- lems). This book deals with some of the mathematical issues arising in the computational simulation of wave propagation and ?uid structure inter- tion. The linear mathematical models for wave propagation and scattering are well-known. Assuming time-harmonic behavior, one deals with the Helm- 2 holtz equation ? u + k u = 0, where the wave number k is a physical parameter. Our interest will be mainly in the numerical solution of ex- rior boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation which we call Helmholtz problems for short."
